Skill Level: Any skill level is welcome however basic embroidery skills are a must to feel
comfortable in this class. Sewing skills required: Basic construction and french seams.
Description: A melody of daisies and swirls adorns the playful hem of this daisy kissed sundress.
This project explores cutwork embroidery and a few of the key stitches that are used for this
technique. When contemplating my embroidery design, I wanted to incorporate some of the
embroidery techniques I learned while travelling through the beautiful Islands of Madeira. I saw
cutwork on used on several beautiful linens they produce. I decided it was a great technique to
adorn this hem. The palette of stitches I used to create this hem are: split backstitch padding
(which adds a raised area for my stitches); closed blanket stitch (not to be confused with a closed
buttonhole stitch); and cut eyelets. These stitches will be mastered during class time.
The dress pattern used for this class is: Kimberly by Bonnie Blue. It is a simple yoke sundress
with a ribbon sash to add a splash of color. The construction techniques are simple allowing all
the attention to be guided towards the hem. Hem templates have been created for dress sizes
24 months through size 10.
Class time will be spent practicing the embroidery stitches presented, marking your design onto
your fabric, with the remainder of time split between construction of your dress and
[3]embroidering your hem.

that ties in the back with a beautiful bow, “ties the dress together”. Join Trisha for two days of

appearing on baby’s tiny frocks. With this in mind, Debbie created an exquisite heirloom of
petal soft, white Japanese lawn with a pastel waterfall of pin stitched scallops, trimmed with
shaped pin tucks, French lace, and delicate hand embroidery. This exquisite daygown is sure to
become a cherished keepsake… reminding mother of those fleeting moments when baby was oh

hem without fabric fuzzies or tell tale hem seam line, shaped pin tucks, pin wheel roses, and
perfect machine granitos. She will also teach you how to recreate her famous painless pin
stitched baby placket, the tiniest French seams and the other “finishing secrets” she uses to
make baby garments that are just as beautiful inside as out. After stitching reference samples,
[11]students begin constructing their own tiny heirloom treasure with the palest pink embellished
waterfall hem.
